French-linked container ship exits Strait of Hormuz, first since war - Bloomberg
A container ship linked to France has exited the Strait of Hormuz, in what appears to be the first such transit by a Western European-linked vessel since the war disrupted shipping, Bloomberg reported.
The CMA CGM Kribi sailed along the Iranian coast before emerging near Oman, according to ship-tracking data and people familiar with the matter.
Iran has tightened control over the strait since the US and Israeli strikes, allowing limited passage for selected vessels while warning others linked to its adversaries.
The waterway normally carries about a fifth of global oil and gas flows, but traffic has sharply declined since the conflict began.
